Stage Discussion

[thebaum64]

I swear every time someone is saying "I don't understand what this stage is guys could be something new" it's always always ALWAYS Battlefield.

Battle field just wants to be there... and to be battled on every game for eternity...

[BlitznBurst]

If we do get a second Sonic stage it should be a factory/mechanical stage. It's the most iconic stage type next to the Green hill Zone trope. Scrap Brain, Chemical Plant, Egg Fleet, Eggmanland, Planet Wisp, whatever. It's ****ing criminal that all we got was Windy Hill Zone. Why not let Windy Hill represent Lost World 3DS and let the Wii U version represent other modern Sonic games?

How about Casino Night Zone? Kinda fits that motif, plus it's easily the second most iconic stage in the entire Classic franchise.



and are you honestly telling me you don't want a real jazzy remix of that theme?

 

[Justin Bailey]

I wonder if there would be a stage based on Swapnote or the Miiverse. There was a Pictochat stage, so why not?

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Find Mii has a stage on 3DS






I am also genuinely surprised that Justin Bailey hasn't been takes as a username before today

 

[D-idara]

Gonna C/P this from the Soundtrack thread...

Courtroom Number 4

1 - Objection Medley
2001 - AA: Phoenix Wright
2002 - AA: Justice For All
2004 - AA: Trials And Tribulations
2 - Apollo Justice ~ A New Chapter of Trials
3 - Pursuit ~ Cornered! 2004
4 - Simon Blackquill ~ Twisted Samurai
5 - Great Revival Medley
Miles Edgeworth ~ Great Revival 2009
Confrontation ~ Presto 2009
Pursuit ~ Lying Coldly
6 - Bobby Fulbright ~ Our Secret Word is Justice!
7 - Pursuit ~ Keep Pressing On (Variation)
8 - Cross-Examination Medley
Examination ~ Allegro 2001
Examination ~ Allegro 2002
Examination ~ Allegro 2004
Examination ~ Allegro 2007
Examination ~ Allegro 2013
9 - (Unlockable with Assist Trophy)
Athena Cykes ~ Courtroom Revolutionnaire

We could have the judge sitting on his chair and a random prosecutor-attorney combo on the benches.
Athena Cykes - Simon Blackquill
Phoenix Wright - Miles Edgeworth
Apollo Justice - Klavier Gavin
They would watch the battle and slam their desks from time to time, shouting "OBJECTION" a few seconds after, a big text bubble appearing on the air and damaging anyone who touches it. Phoenix's bubble would have a fire attribute, Edgeworth's and Blackquill's a slashing attribute, Athena's a Psychic/Darkness/Energy attribute, Klavier's a soundwave (DK's Final Smash/Barbara AT) attribute, and Apollo's a stunning attribute.

The box texture on this map's replaced with the bomb-carrier case.

that would work

 

[ryuu seika]

It could be great and kind of like the original Peach's Castle or it could be really obnoxiously jammed full of poorly placed casino gimmicks. I'd have to see it before I could have an opinion.

ya :/ although peaches castle sound awesome!

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Not that it needs to be said further butI think the pic of day further confirms the Boxing stage is, in fact, not Final Destination due to the bounceable rope.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

A stage that involves riding on a Spine Coaster would be pretty interesting...

Basically, fighters would battle on the Spine Coaster, but need to be aware of when it'll briefly dive into the lava.

 

[thebaum64]

ya i hope they don't mess up final destination in anyway, shape, or form. although a boxing arena would be cool! a hint for little mac as a character??? hint hint!

 

[Justin Bailey]

Find Mii has a stage on 3DS

True but that's not the Miiverse or Swapnote.

As for today's picture, are they hinting towards Punch-Out!! or Pro-Wrestling?

 

[Trami Nguyen]

Well, seeing as Namco-Bandai is going to work on the game with Nintendo/Project Sora, And seeing as there's a good chance Pac-Man will be a newcomer (I still want KOS-MOS), here's a stage idea I think will fit Pac-Man quite well:

 

[CardiganBoy]

So what about franchises that haven't get games post-brawl like F-Zero or Mother/Earthbound?

I would like to see F-Zero GX Mute City:

Can you imagine how much more amazing this cyberpunk goodness would look in HD?

For Mother/Earthbound i would like to see a real 3D New Pork City stage, rather than the unyspired one from Brawl.
Something like this:

 

[Hippopotasauce]

The Wilderness

​

I once heard about the idea that Hanenbow may have invented the concept of a "joke stage", in the same way the you could say Jigglypuff or G&W are their respective games' joke characters. I would like the expand on this idea of a joke stage, and take from a game that barely any know about as well. If you're not aware, Cubivore is an action/strategy game with rpg elements. You eat things and mate, and try to dethrone the Killer Cubivore.

In The Wilderness, you fight on three platforms, one medium, one large, one small. The medium one is situated above and between the large and small ones. The large platform is flat, but has a dip with water that only exists for visual reasons. Both the medium and large platforms have polygonal patches of grass that are completely walkthroughable. They do slightly obstruct the view on smaller characters though.

The gimmick of the stage is that occasionally two of the three platforms will go white and become worthless, you won't be able to land on them any longer. Which two platforms go white is chosen at random.

Spoiler

However, you can restore these white lands by eating a wildabug, which spawns after a couple of seconds the two platforms disappear. It will hover erratically around the white platforms, and when it's caught in the air by pressing A next to it, the white terrain will fill in with color. The person who caught it also gets 20% health healed.

Spoiler

The atmosphere of the level is one of the more unique aspects in that it retains most of the graphics from the original game. Besides upping the resolution of the textures, pretty much everything will remain as it is. There will be a green mist in the background, and all the platforms are very low poly. The stage is situated above generic terrain you'd come across in a standard Cubivore level, similar to how Smashville works. Cubivores are be running around and eating eachother and doing usual Cubivore things.

Also, above the stage there's a text box, and every time a hit is landed, one word in a poem is written out. It could be one of the many limericks that were in Cubivore. This is another purely visual thing.

Spoiler

In the end, the stage may look like this.

This is the selection of music. All the tracks are from Cubivore and give off a very unique atmosphere.

Anything Cubivore related is instant win to me.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Heh, I had a scarily similar idea to this Cubivore stage a while ago myself. You can see it here, or what remains of it anyway.

Anyway, I obviously second the idea. I'd love to see a Cubivore stage as a successor to Hanenbow. Especially because of the music.

 

[Forcerounds]

Yeah, I think we need a better New Pork City stage for the 3DS version. As for a console Mother/Earthbound stage, I want either Saturn Valley or Magicant.

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Perhaps a Kid Icarus: Uprising stage inspired by Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit? With pillars that reflect projectiles, and trippy backgrounds.
Or Freezeflame Galaxy.

I've always thought Pandora's Labyrinth is the best choice from Uprising. Such potential.

 

[moneyfrenzy]

I hope we get good pokemon stages this time

 

[D-idara]

NAAAH, the Aurum Islands are much better, and much jazzier.

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.
Hades' Belly.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

I hope we get a Pokémon stage that is set in a route or a wilderness area for once.

 

[Weedy Spyze]

Pretty much my only request for a stage is Bowser's Castle, still think it's comedy how it's never been in Smash before. We got a Mario Kart stage last time though, so hopefully that means Bowser's Castle is next.

 

[Knight Dude]

Not gonna lie, the lack of Bowser's Castle is weird. It would be cool to finally see in Smash. Maybe throw in a Metroid stage that isn't fire/lava based. We had one of the two stages in Brawl with a different gimmick. I'd like Phendrana Drifts or Sky City.

And more than one Kirby stage added this time.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Mario Party Stage.

 

[D-idara]

Bowser Land
Although I'm not saying that this should replace Bowser's Castle in ANY WAY, Bowser Land's one of the most visually-impressive locations that has appeared in a Nintendo game! It's full of life and color and just serves to reiforce the 'Pimp' image Bowser had going on for him on this game.
I'd like it to be a flat stage, strangely, just the main platform and that HUGE theme park on the background.

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

Nintendo Land would be cool.

 

[Chandeelure]

Pokemon Stadium 3 will come for you!

 

[MylesMad]

Yeah, I think we need a better New Pork City stage for the 3DS version. As for a console Mother/Earthbound stage, I want either Saturn Valley or Magicant.

As far as Earthbound stages go, I'm just really hoping for the Onett theme to make it into the game one way or another.

 

[Starcutter]

Nintendo Land would be cool.

I'd be really surprised if that wasn't one.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

I remember writing up a Nintendogs stage back before the SSB4 reveal. I hope we also get one for the Wii U. I also would love to see a Mario Party, Endless Ocean, Chibirobo, and Nintendo Land stage.

What if there was a Google Streetview or YouTube stage?!

That'd be really cool, fighting on a Youtube video page.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Not sure if anyone else pieced it together, but here's my take on the pikmin garden of hope stage.

 

[Hippopotasauce]

That looks about right. I think it would be cool that if the bowl or bridge broke, they'd be put back together slowly by Pikmin in the background carrying fragments.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Pink and Rock Pikmin.

 

[No Control]

I'd love to see those silhouette levels from DKCR from a visual perspective, but I guess practically it could get kinda annoying.
